2015-11-05Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-2/+0
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: - "genirq: Introduce generic irq migration for cpu hotunplugged" patch merged from tip/irq/for-arm to allow the arm64-specific part to be upstreamed via the arm64 tree - CPU feature detection reworked to cope with heterogeneous systems where CPUs may not have exactly the same features. The features reported by the kernel via internal data structures or ELF_HWCAP are delayed until all the CPUs are up (and before user space starts) - Support for 16KB pages, with the additional bonus of a 36-bit VA space, though the latter only depending on EXPERT - Implement native {relaxed, acquire, release} atomics for arm64 - New ASID allocation algorithm which avoids IPI on roll-over, together with TLB invalidation optimisations (using local vs global where feasible) - KASan support for arm64 - EFI_STUB clean-up and isolation for the kernel proper (required by KASan) - copy_{to,from,in}_user optimisations (sharing the memcpy template) - perf: moving arm64 to the arm32/64 shared PMU framework - L1_CACHE_BYTES increased to 128 to accommodate Cavium hardware - Support for the contiguous PTE hint on kernel mapping (16 consecutive entries may be able to use a single TLB entry) - Generic CONFIG_HZ now used on arm64 - defconfig updates * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (91 commits) arm64/efi: fix libstub build under CONFIG_MODVERSIONS ARM64: Enable multi-core scheduler support by default arm64/efi: move arm64 specific stub C code to libstub arm64: page-align sections for DEBUG_RODATA arm64: Fix build with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA=n arm64: Fix compat register mappings arm64: Increase the max granular size arm64: remove bogus TASK_SIZE_64 check arm64: make Timer Interrupt Frequency selectable arm64/mm: use PAGE_ALIGNED instead of IS_ALIGNED arm64: cachetype: fix definitions of ICACHEF_* flags arm64: cpufeature: declare enable_cpu_capabilities as static genirq: Make the cpuhotplug migration code less noisy arm64: Constify hwcap name string arrays arm64/kvm: Make use of the system wide safe values arm64/debug: Make use of the system wide safe value arm64: Move FP/ASIMD hwcap handling to common code arm64/HWCAP: Use system wide safe values arm64/capabilities: Make use of system wide safe value arm64: Delay cpu feature capability checks ...
2015-10-12arm64/efi: remove /chosen/linux, uefi-stub-kern-ver DT propertyArd Biesheuvel1-2/+0
With the stub to kernel interface being promoted to a proper interface so that other agents than the stub can boot the kernel proper in EFI mode, we can remove the linux,uefi-stub-kern-ver field, considering that its original purpose was to prevent this from happening in the first place.

2015-10-12arm64: Use core efi=debug instead of uefi_debug command line parameterLeif Lindholm1-2/+0
Now that we have an efi=debug command line option in the core code, use this instead of the arm64-specific uefi_debug option.
